It really depends how far along you are. You can pretty easily bail if say, you have 10 of the 13, you have at least 1 pair, and it's early enough. (You can turn it into chanta rather easily.) Once you are at or near tenpai, it is almost impossible to bail.

Kokushi musō is only the second-rarest hand of all, but even the rarest, the 9 Gates being far less common, is possible to break up into lesser hands with relative ease.

Is it really that rare? It's the most common yakuman that I've seen playing and the one that I've almost hit a number of times.
